We will always be grateful to Matt and remember how he made a really bad situation for our family tolerable and just a bit easier.
Matthew was the kindest, most caring, and attentive nurse who also made me laugh. Conversation was easy with him, and he always made sure I was comfortable. Every time I had a movie on, he would say it was one of his favorites, and it was mine, as well.
Anytime I had a question about something, he would try to answer any questions promptly and or get the doctor to help me. Kind, compassionate, caring, funny nurses are what we need more of in the hospitals because, as the saying goes, laughter is the best medicine!
Matthew is the reason I got discharged earlier than I thought I would, probably because of the laughs and phenomenal care!
Keep up the good work, Matthew! You're doing a great job! I'll never forget you!

Apart from a specific example of how Matthew made a difference in my care, and there are quite a few, I wanted to reference his character and compassion.
I first met Matthew when I was admitted to 6EW, following a Lobectomy on my right lung. When I finally realized what was happening after the anesthesia wore off, Matthew was there, assuring me that everything was okay. He took the time to really explain, in detail, what was currently happening and what the next few days would bring, while I was in the hospital. In addition to that, Matt really helped put my husband at ease, because he was really upset seeing me like I was, immediately following surgery.
I really think that, in the days to follow, Matthew, in so many ways, became an important part of our family. Whenever information was presented to us, it was done with compassion. Matthew also took the time to make sure that we understood everything. More importantly, he made sure that we were all okay with what we heard, and he definitely took extra time with us to make sure that we were comfortable and at ease.
We are currently getting ready to leave the hospital after a 3-night, 4-day stay. I don’t think my family and I will ever be able thank Matthew enough for all of his time, effort, and compassion! We will always be grateful to Matt and remember how he made a really bad situation for our family tolerable and just a bit easier.
If any of my family members or I ever must do another hospital stretch, I really hope that Matthew will be waiting for us.
